Administration of the MapR-DB is done primarily via the commmand line (maprcli) or with the MapR Control System (MCS).
Regardless of whether the MapR-DB table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used
with slightly different parameter options. MapR-DB administration is associated with tables, columns and column families,
and table regions.

Setting Up MapR NFS

The MapR NFS service lets you access data on a licensed MapR cluster via the NFS protocol:

Community Edition license: one NFS node allows you to access
your cluster as a standard POSIX-compliant filesystem.

Enterprise Edition or Enterprise Database Edition license:
multiple NFS servers allow each node to mount its own MapR-FS on
NFS enabled with VIPs for high availability (HA) and load
balancing

You can mount the MapR cluster via NFS and use standard shell scripting to read and write
live data in the cluster. NFS access to cluster data can be faster than accessing the same
data with the hadoop commands. To mount the cluster via NFS from a client
machine, see Accessing Data with NFS.
